Peach-Blueberry Pie. Wow

August 20, 2022
Dick Sandhaus

This is what summer should taste like. A light, intensely flavorful but not too sweet dessert. Pretty terrific for breakfast, too. Amazing how easily you can make this Better and Cheaper than you can buy it. 70 cents per slice.

The Walk That Ate France, Italy and Switzerland. The Tour du Mont Blanc

August 19, 2022
Dick Sandhaus

10 days in the French Alps, the Italian Alps and the Swiss Alps. 107 miles of calories-burning in a place where it’s pretty easy to replace those calories. Moderate your local cheese and wine consumption and see the spectacular sights while you burn way more calories than you consume.

Fig & Feta Pizza for Late Summer Brunch

August 18, 2022

Very luscious. Slightly sweet. Soft and crisp. Highly aromatic. The perfectly seasonal fruit, cheese and bread brunch. Fresh figs are at the Farmers Markets right now. You should be, too.

Sudden Summer Tomato Soup

Two minutes from thought to bowl. Suddenly, before you know it, dinner's on the table. Big, fresh tomato flavor barely enriched with yogurt and olive oil. And the fragrance of a little basil. And you have plenty of time to enjoy it.

Smoke-Free Smoked Chicken. It’s the tea.

It's all in the tea. Smoky lapsang souchong. And sweet, aromatic ginger-liquorice tea. For big, deep, smoky flavor with a little sweet spice. Like an invisible, zero-calorie barbecue sauce. Whether you grill over a fire or on the stovetop.

They're very sweet and mild-mannered. They seemed pretty happy to share the trail.

Grilled Peaches with Pecan-Walnut Crust

August 13, 2022
Dick Sandhaus

Dessert for a lazy, late summer cookout. A no-labor day dessert. As satisfying as a pie right out of the oven. Without making a pie. Hot. Sweet. Just slightly smoky. A little crumbly. Like a great pie once it's in your mouth. Where it counts.

Bunsen Peak: Overlooking Yellowstone

August 12, 2022
Dick Sandhaus

In the original National Park. Here's a half-day hike with huge 360-degree views. Long enough to make it a "serious" hike. Short enough to do it before lunch. Climb 1,300'. Burn 1,800 calories.

Eggplant Rolls, grilled and stuffed

August 11, 2022
Dick Sandhaus

Sweet, soft, smoky eggplant slices. Wrapped around tart, salty feta cheese spiked with aromatic oregano. Brightened with a little fresh lemon juice. Best hand-held dish of the month. If you can slice eggplant and mash cheese, it's in your mouth in less than 20 minutes.

I had to think for a while about this zebra eggplant. How to eat the delicious inside without destroying the dramatically beautiful outside? Here's how you make an addictive Eggplant-Garlic Salad and serve it in its own skin.
